Main Activities
The refinery produces hydrocarbon fuels including motor fuels (petrol and diesel), kerosene, gas oils, fuel oils and liquefied petroleum gases (LPG: commercial propane and butane).
At the time of the accident, the facilities comprised a 190,000 barrels per day crude distillation unit and associated refining processes together with a blending and storage area, and deep water marine terminal. Crude oil arrives by sea in tankers of up to 300,000 tonnes capacity. Product exports are largely by sea and pipeline, together with a small volume that is moved by road.
